 Ideally we'd always leave the package _and_ database in a fully upgraded
state, but I don't think we can/should override the user's service settings.
However, the only situation where we won't be able to upgrade the
database is if the service is disabled and the server is running; If the
service is disabled but the server is stopped, we'll start the server in
a manual way (in general we will no longer use the service system during
postinst) and run mysql_upgrade.
